There are three LEDs on the front panel of the IP-IO module.

The IP-IO module Ethernet and Status indicators comprise two LEDs (green/yellow and green/red respectively) in one structure.
The LEDs indicate status of the IP-IO module and the ongoing communication.
The IP-IO module Status LED indicates the condition of the device.
LED Patterns |
Condition |
Green, constant |
Normal operation, status OK IP-IO module firmware application running |
Green, flashing (~1 Hz) |
Device restarting, wait IP-IO module firmware application running |
Red, constant |
Detected error, attention required |
Red, flashing (~1 Hz) |
Device operates, but a problem needs attention |
Red/green, flashing (~1 Hz) |
IP-IO module I/O board receiving software upgrade, wait Do not interrupt power to the I/O module. For more information, see the following Important note. |
Amber, constant |
IP-IO module firmware boot applet running |
Amber, flash |
Device restarting, wait IP-IO module firmware boot applet started |
Amber/green, flashing (~1 Hz) |
IP-IO module firmware is being upgraded. It is typically the firmware main application, but it can also be a boot applet. |
Avoid power interruptions to the device during the brief period when the Status LED is flashing red and green. An interruption causes problems with the I/O processor upgrade and can result in corrupt firmware. You can view the evidence of a corrupt processor when the device reports itself as an “MP-C-15A.” A corrupt I/O processor can lead to the loss of the reset button and/or I/O functionality, as well as the inability to upgrade the I/O processor and/or the device.
The Ethernet (1 and 2) LEDs indicate the condition of the Ethernet communication.
